Kobe came off the bench in the second quarter, as usual, fulfilling his duties.
Active defense, moving on offense, waiting for opportunities on the outside.
Occasionally, he gets the chance to create with the ball, and that's the opportunity Bird gives him.
At this time, Kobe often chooses to hold the ball beyond the three-point line, make a large change of direction, then break into the inside to attack the basket.
This was an offensive technique that many NBA guards were learning and developing at the time, which had become a standard for guards.
Allen Iverson was also skilled in this, he learned it from his schoolmate Bailey, and had scored a shot over Jordan's head.
Kobe tried to execute a move like Iverson's during a possession, but ended up with a missed shot.
The ball hit the front edge of the rim with a bang, and the rebound was grabbed by the 76ers, who seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
